'This is America' Opening Reception

One of the brightest young stars to hit the LA art scene in the past few years, America Martin continues to push avant-garde boundaries in addition to adding sculpture to her already impressive palate of acrylic works. In a style recognized for its Cubist master origins, yet organically free of imitation, Martin creates cultural explosions of life that vibrate with passion and personality, drawing us in to intimate moments and contemplations of people who reflect both our outer and inner selves. Catch her new work, “This is America,” at the JoAnne Artman Gallery and prepare to fall ears over ankles in love. Thu., Feb. 7, 6 p.m., 2013
